Oh so you think the people who have connections with C5 just added those parts in to make it sound more exciting? Fair enough.

The Five Years thing is abit, well shocking considering how much bad press the show had got. But I suppose as the article said it depends on how well the show does.

I really hope extending the show isn't true though, that would destroy it.

Btw, this has also been reported in The Sunday Times with mention of Desmond wanting to breath new life into the format.

Oh Cool!
It's weird it's not even in the Daily Star though? I mean Desmond owns that paper, surely a way to get publicity would be to put it in that?

Actually if this is true and in a few weeks time we get it confirmed, I wonder if Desmond will have Big Brother plastered all over his paper?
Think about it, it's free advertising really to boost the show's ratings alot.

I can see the headlines now: 'BBIG COMEBACK!' followed by a picture of the Big Brother 12 Logo.
